The process

Pallets must be be dense enough to ship economically and stable enough to survive the journey

Goods arrive in streams generated from order picking, get placed in the order the pallet needs, and then the pallet flows onwards.

A well-built mixed-case pallet lowers transport costs, protects the goods and speeds up dispatch, but only works when every item reaches the robot in the exact and most optimal order the build requires.

Rigid goods sequencing for pallet building breaks when needs change and exceptions occur

Achieving it used to require multi-stage systems, heavy manual effort, and workflows that break the moment the goods mix changes or additional constraints are introduced

Sequence

Items arrive in the order the conveyor allows, not the order the pallet needs

Mix

A new goods type in the mix, and the hardware decides whether it is viable

Exceptions

One failed pick, a cell going down or an issue along the line can halt the whole operation

A 5×5 m system that fit a space-constrained site

OmniMod is very advantageous for us. It handles goods more efficiently, but most importantly it increases our quality. This strengthens Ramberg's competitive edge and ensures a better customer experience.

How autonomous, sequenced palletizing changes your operations

Every parcel is accounted for

Tracked individually throughout the whole flow, and the image database of every parcel ensures complete traceability.

The robot never waits for the next case

Goods are held on the surface and released in build order, so the cell runs at its own rate instead of the rate the upstream flow happens to deliver.

The build order resolves before the cell, not inside it

Buffering, sequencing and orientation happen on one compact surface rather than across sorter loops and dedicated conveyor stages.

The flow changes without the floor changing

New goods mix, new destinations, new business logic — all go live through software updates. Capacity grows by adding modules, not by rebuilding.

How it works

From the unloading point to the outbound lane, without manual handling in between.

01

Eliminates intake friction

Seamless, controlled entry (manual or automated)

02

Observes and tracks individual goods in real-time

Full visibility enables individual goods traceability

03

Dynamically buffers before presenting to robot

Goods are held and queued based on palletizing logic

04

Intelligently re-sequences "on-the-fly"

Goods are presented to the palletizing robot in the optimal pick order for the pallet building, with or without pre-shared DWS data

05

Presents with precision and flows onward

Exact positioning and customizable orientation at the pick point enables the robot to build dense, stable pallets, and then the finished pallet continues downstream without interruption

AI-driven intelligence sees, understands and controls every item individually

Each item's route is decided individually and autonomously re-decided in real time

Movement
Traditional
Goods must move in fixed streams

Each function needs its own stage, and the layout decides the flow.

OmniMod
Goods move freely and independently

Every parcel is controlled individually on a multi-capable, minimal-footprint surface.

Handling
Traditional
Manual handling adds touches

More touches per parcel, and error probability rises with every touch.

OmniMod
Autonomous handling

Autonomous grouping, buffering, sequencing and exception handling reduce errors and touches per parcel.

Adaptability
Traditional
Doing more requires more footprint and scaling is rigid

Manning is required at both ends, and changing the flow means changing the hardware.

OmniMod
Do more on a smaller footprint and seamlessly scale modularly

Adapting to changing flow demands requires only a software update, and buffer capacity scales by adding modules.

Operators working alongside the OmniMod system at B.H. Ramberg
On the floor

The work gets easier, not just faster

Goods come to the operator, at the height they work at, in the order they need them. Nobody walks the floor hunting for a parcel that should have been staged, lifts between levels, or waits for the next thing to arrive. The system holds the queue, so the pace is steady instead of alternating between idle and swamped.

What is left is the part of the job that genuinely needs a person: judgement on exceptions, quality calls, and keeping the operation moving. Teams that have made this change report less physical strain at the end of a shift, and a clearer sense of what their day is actually for.

The perfect fit for greenfield and brownfield alike

What buyers ask us first

What goods can you move?

We move a wide variety of goods, from cartons to polybags.

Will it perform as promised before we commit to installation?

Flow simulations, tests, and a digital twin validate every flow requirement before a single module is shipped.

How hard is it to integrate with our existing systems?

We provide swift integration with partner systems (WMS, WCS, robot controller etc.) which unlocks value realization from day one.

How long until we see value after commissioning?

Hardware arrives pre-assembled with software already tested in simulation, which makes commissioning straightforward and predictable. It's ready for go-live in weeks, not months.

What if we need to change the flow later?

OmniMod products ship as-is with a standard capability configuration. Adding capabilities and changing flow rules are only a wireless software update, not hardware rebuilds.
